House passed military voter bill

The state House on Friday unamiously passed a bill designed to make it easier for military and overseas voters to cas electronic ballots.

House Bill 2483 allows counties to e-mail ballots to those voters.
The ballot could be processed without the county having to wait for the paper ballot to arrive back at the elections office, as is currently reguired.

The measure is one of Secretary of State’ Sam Reed’s highest priorities this legislative session. The bill now moves to the Senate. To read more, check out the secretary of state’s blog.
